I'm 26 and have been experiencing chest pain for about a month and a half now. I checked my ECG, and it came back normal, but I'm still worried. Sometimes it feels like a pressing sensation, and other times it feels like something's moving inside my chest, shifting from the middle to the top, or from the left side to the middle. What could this be?

View allI'm a bit worried about my blood pressure. I recently went to the doctor, and they found it was 130100. I'm 28 years old, and when the doctor asked about my family history, I mentioned that my dad has high blood pressure but it's quite rare. The doctor didn't prescribe anything right now, just said to check it again in a month. I'm currently on antibiotics for a sore throat. Are there any tips you could give me to help manage or cure this?
Maintain a healthy weight through regular exercise and a balanced diet. Reduce sodium intake in your diet. Increase potassium-rich foods such as bananas, oranges, and potatoes. Limit alcohol consumption. Manage stress through relaxation techniques like deep breathing or meditation. Get an adequate amount of quality sleep each night. Avoid smoking and limit caffeine intake. If after a month your blood pressure remains high, you may need medication to help control it. It's important to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.

I'm really worried about my mom. She's been dealing with hypertension for the past 8 years, and now she's caught a cold and has a cough. The doctor recommended she take Azithromycin 500 for five days. My question is, is it okay for her to mix this antibiotic with her blood pressure meds? I'm not sure if there's any interaction or something that we should be concerned about.
yes u can continue taking the tab for your cough..

I'm really worried about my dad. He's 50 and has been dealing with some health issues for the last ten days. He fainted last Saturday and his blood pressure dropped to 9363, with a fever of 102F. Our regular doctor gave him paracetamol, but then the same thing happened again on Sunday. We rushed him to another doctor who found moderate pericardial effusion and admitted him to the ICUU. They ended up putting in a temporary pacemaker because his pulse rate was falling below 50 bpm. It seemed to help, but then after they removed the pacemaker, his atrial fibrillation was varying quite a bit. The doctor adjusted his medication, and now the AF is still shifting between 110 and 130. They mentioned something about fluid dissolving, but I'm not sure what the next steps should be. Any advice on how we should proceed?
It sounds like your father has been through a lot with the pericardial effusion and subsequent atrial fibrillation. It's good to hear that 90% of the fluid has been dissolved. To continue managing the atrial fibrillation, the doctor may prescribe medications such as Metoprolol (25-50mg twice daily) to help control the heart rate. Additionally, blood thinners like Warfarin (2.5-5mg once daily) may be prescribed to prevent blood clots. It's important to monitor his heart rate and rhythm regularly and follow up with the doctor for further evaluation and management.
